Upcoming Headstatic Contest News!


Hey hey everyone! Although this will be a really short blog post it’s still worth reading. Why you ask? Simple…CONTEST TIME!

Next week I will be announcing all the cool details of my 2nd annual “Name my sketchbook contest!” I will also post the original illustration that will be awarded to the winner along with some other grand news. But in the meantime be sure to put on your thinking caps and give me a super clever awesome name because not only could you win an original illustration from yours truly but it could also make you famous.

Like really really famous.

Keeping with the headstatic tradition, whenever I don’t have any art to post, I resort to posting photos of my super secret celebrity girlfriend Scarlett Johansson. The photo above is of course from the upcoming Iron Man 2 film with hits theaters May 7th. Scarlett will be playing the role of the Black Widow, who is one of, if not my favorite Marvel femme fatale.*

Enjoy and be sure to check back soon for all the contest details.

*Editor’s note: this marks the first time Jason has mentioned that Scarlett will be playing the Black Widow without going into a geek seizure and passing out.

Scarlett Johansson Studies

I did a couple quick semi-quick studies of my #1 celebrity crush Scarlett Johansson Monday night. Nothing major just trying to capture her heart…er… ahaha. Did I say heart? Silly me I meant likeness. But primarily I did it as a value study. Nothing really all that special but I’ve been  in an art slump lately and this is the first thing that I’ve liked in a while. Plus I told myself that I would start posing more studies and doodles. I have a ton of stuff just lying around that I really need to scan and share.

So the process for this one was I first did a pencil rendering then scanned it in and “redrew it” in Photoshop. Oh how I wish I could do transitions and even tones in traditional media as I do in Photoshop. Anyway let me know what you think. Thanks!

Site redesign and Big News Check it out

Scarlett-Johansson101

Hello Hello HELLO.

I’m back bitches.

[Ric Flair]

WHooooooo!

Stylin’ and profilin’ and looking how I can look. Whooooooo!

[/Ric Flair]

How the hell is everyone? Yeah that’s great, whatever. Let’s talk about me now. Shall we?

As I’m sure you have noticed by now the site has a new look and was designed to make stalking me that much easier. Oh and I encourage you to stalk me via Twitter, subscribing to the feed to this blog or whatever other method you can cook up. Well, except for lurking around the outside of my house wearing a stealth suit made of shrubs and discarded cheeseburger wrappers. That would just be weird for the both of us and no don’t ask me how I know that.

But I digress.

I have some huge announcements to make so be sure to call the neighbors and wake the kids and be sure everyone sitting down.

Ok ready? Good.

I have been selected to do sketch cards for the upcoming Marvel 70th anniversary card set! I know awesome right? I know I know that some of you think that it’s almost slave labor doing the sketch cards but I don’t consider 25 bucks a card that bad.

Heh I just screwin’ with you.

I’m not really getting 25 dollars a card but I do look at it as a great opportunity. It seems to have been working out pretty good for Cat Staggs so I’m hoping for the best. Anyway I signed up to do 150 cards by January, so time to break out the copics and microns and get to work. A friend of mine Keith O’Malley (who is just an urban legend to some) has done several sets and has given me some great advice. Well actually his advice wasn’t all that great. Hmmm…come to think of it I don’t even think it was advice. He just said he loved men named Wyatt.

Anyway so that’s great news and…AND…I may start teaching a figure drawing class at the Charlotte Art League! Yeah I don’t think the Art League has really thought that through either but I’m still meeting with them tomorrow morning to discuss it and suss out any details. I will be sure to announce their decision here but if you up to minute updates hit me up on Twitter.

Finally I would just like to say thank you to everyone for your support during the recent tumultuous episodes in my life. I assure that everything is getting back on track (finally) and I am officially back to making regular blog posts, just like in the good ol’ days.

Oh I also have a few other cool projects on the horizon and I will be announcing those on Monday. I think that about does it for this post and again I apologize for the lack of content over the last few weeks but I’m sure you guys understand why.

Now to keep with tradition of this amazing blog, whenever I don’t have a relevant image to post I post a picture of the lovely Scarlett Johansson and Scarlett I know you had nothing to do with those cease and desist letters. Those meddlesome attorneys just don’t understand our love.

Overdue blog post time

scarcon

Remember when I said I would be back on a regular schedule and things would be back to normal around here very very soon? Of course you don’t! Because its been so long since my last post! I swear people I don’t know how much more crap is going to fall into my life but if it doesn’t let up soon then…I’ll…uh…aw hell I had something clever to say. I think. Maybe. Oh screw it onto the updates.

Ok so my mom was released from the hospital yesterday. The surgery was a success and they are still deciding on how much chemotherapy will be needed if any. For those of you just now finding out about this my mom had colon cancer and the tumor was the size of an orange. Fun. But as I said the doctors are expecting a full recovery, which is of course great news. Needless to say that was taking a ton of my time and stressing me out but at least things are working out and are now starting to look up.

So that is the big issue that has been going on in my personal life, but don’t think I haven’t been drawing during this time. I will be the first to admit I haven’t done anything of any major significance but I have been filling up sketchbook pages like crazy and..uh…wait. Did I just say “like crazy“? WTF? Here I am Mr. Artsy Fartsy and the best simile I can come up with for a prolific surge of creativity during an emotive exploration of a tumultuous time in my life through my mind’s eye is… “like crazy.” Nice. Really nice.

Anyway I have a bunch of sketchbook pages that I will be posting over the next few days. I just have to take the time to scan them. I hope all of you  (yes all 8 of you) will enjoy them because I have been playing around with a new approach to drawing and sketching. I have really been trying to slow down and take my time trying to capture each subtle nuance with a single flowing line.

Oh did I mention that a lot of the sketchbook pages will have boobs and robots? I didn’t? Well then I should mention that a lot of my new sketchbook pages will have boobs and robots. I just wanted make sure you were still with me and I wasn’t boring you with all this artistic expression crap. Don’t get me wrong I love the beauty of a clean illustration and I could go on and on about it. But boobs and robots is why you’re here and I aim to please.

I will be posting that as well as a couple of other surprises over the next couple days so be sure to check back in with me or better yet just subscribe to this blog. You will find that this blog will not only bring joy to your life but it will also bring joy to those around you.

Now to follow the tradition of this blog whenever I don’t have any art to post I post a picture of my super #1 crush Scarlett Johansson.

See you on the other side whatever that means.

The Heroes Comic Convention is next weekend (June 19-21) and it is shaping up to be a phenomenal convention this year. Two of my favorites Adam Hughes and Frank Cho will be there as well as both Marvel and DC comics. But the biggest news is that….are you ready? Make sure you’re sitting down.

I will be doing commissions and sketches at the Con this year.

I know incredible right? This is like finding out you can shit gold or something. Anyway I will be at SP-02 revealing secrets of the world, doing sketches, and selling prints along with my currently unnamed sketchbook.

Speaking of which if anyone here can come up with a really super awesome name let me know right here right now. If I pick your really super awesome name I will do a sketch for you or something along those lines. Sound good? Of course it does. Just try and have any names in by June 17th. The clock starts now.

In closing if your are going to be at the con I hope you will stop by and say hello, pick up a print, buy me a 1972 ‘cuda or a 22 year old Scarlett Johansson, your choice.

Anyway don’t forget to post some names for my sketchbook. I look forward to hearing what you come up with and hope to see you at the Heroes con.

See you on the other side, whatever that means.
